Here is the complete section and it still doesn't work:

<p>
<label></label>
<br>
<label> </label>
</p>
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="thisform.php" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="30000">
<p>File name: <input name="filename" type="file" id="filename">
</p>
<p>Description: <input name="description" type="text"
id="description">
<label> </label>
</p>
<p>
<label> </label>
<input name="submit" type="submit" value="Add Entry">
